Deva is the capital of Hunedoara County in western Romania, located on the banks of the river Mureş, with a population of about 60,000 people. The city is famous for the hilltop Deva Castle, a 13th-century fortress perched on a volcanic cone that offers panoramic views and symbolizes the history of the region. The economy of Dva is based on industry and services, and it is also a transportation hub, connecting it to the Carpathian region.
Dva has a long history, first recorded in 1269, and was once a fortress of the Kingdom of Hungary. The city retains medieval buildings such as the castle and the Church of the Holy Cross. Culturally, Deva has museums, theaters, and is close to the ruins of the Dacian civilization, reflecting Romania's diverse heritage. The city is known for its mild continental climate with four distinct seasons, making it suitable for tourism.
Deva is a natural gateway for exploring the Carpathian Mountains, with the nearby Retezat National Park for hiking and eco-tourism.

As an important regional center of Romania, Deva blends history and modernity, attracting visitors to experience its unique charm.
San Sebastian, located in the Basque Country in northern Spain, is not only a world-renowned gastronomic capital, but also famous for its deep tuna culture. Relying on the rich fishing resources of the Bay of Biscay, this seaside city has inherited the centuries-old traditional fishing method of "Almadraba", which catches bluefin tuna with precision every spring, and its fatty meat is known as the "black gold of the sea". Local restaurants offer a wide range of tuna dishes, from the classic Tataki de atún to Atún encebollado, each of which demonstrates the Basque people's dedication to their ingredients. The annual Tuna Festival in June attracts gourmets from all over the world to witness the saga of freshness from the catch to the table.
